1 Samuel 25:10-17

10And NabalH5037 answeredH559 David’sH1732 servantsH5650, and saidH559, Who is DavidH1732? and who is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448? there be manyH7235 servantsH5650 nowH3117 a daysH3117 that breakH6555 awayH6555 everyH376 manH376 from his masterH113.

11Shall I then takeH3947 my breadH3899, and my waterH4325, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearersH1494, and giveH5414 it unto menH376 of whomH834 I knowH3045 notH3808 whence they be?

12SoH935 David’sH1732 youngH5288 menH5288 turnedH2015 on their wayH1870, and wentH935 backH7725, and cameH935 and toldH5046 him according to allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697.

13And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto his menH376, GirdH2296 ye on everyH376 manH376 his swordH2719. And they girdedH2296 on everyH376 manH376 his swordH2719; and DavidH1732 also girdedH2296 on his swordH2719: and there wentH5927 upH5927 afterH310 DavidH1732 aboutH5921 fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376; and twoH3427 hundredH3967 abodeH3427 by the stuff.

14But one of the youngH5288 menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal’sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 outH7971 of the wildernessH4057 to saluteH1288 our masterH113; and he flew uponH802 them.

15But the menH376 were veryH3966 goodH2896 unto usH3117, and weH3117 were notH3808 hurt, neitherH3808 missedH6485 weH3117 anyH3605 thingH3605, as longH3117 as weH3117 were conversant with them, when weH3117 were in the fieldsH7704:

16they were a wallH2346 unto usH5921 bothH1571 by nightH3915 and by dayH3117, allH3605 the whileH1961 weH3117 were with them keeping the sheepH6629.

17NowH6258 therefore knowH3045 and considerH7200 whatH4100 thou wilt doH6213; for evilH7451 is determinedH3615 againstH5921 our masterH113, and againstH5921 allH3605 his houseH1004: for he is suchH1931 a sonH1121 of Belial, that one cannot speakH1696 to him.
